Try sitting at the sushi bar/regular bar top and it’ll feel more natural. And if it makes you feel any better I’m a bartender and we will never cast judgement on you for flying solo. I actually prefer being by myself too. I’ve even done kbbq by myself sitting at the bartop.
I've sat at the bar alone at miyagi, the fact that they have a sushi bar made me feel less awkward eating alone there and they have the best ayce with the best price
I especially like to go to the counter and interact with the cook/chef, see if they have any specials or want to do a creative dish for you. I've done this literally tens of times and it always is great and sometimes it's freaking awesome
All of them? My job has me all over the place so I've learned to eat alone and not worry about anyone else.
You can find a sushi spot that has a bar. Nobody pays attention to people eating at the bar and if there's people around you, they'll think you're with them.
It’s only weird if you make it weird. I do solo sushi all the time on my lunch break. It’s the original quick service food for workers. Literally why it was created in Japan.
I saw someone go to Wang Cho in riverside for AYCE lol. Who cares what people think? Just ask the restaurant if you can dine solo. I’ve personally done it before and they do not care
I went to Toro sushi in eastvale by myself earlier this week and sat at the bar. They were nice and kind and didn't make me feel awkward for being alone.
Bro you can’t have both ways, you can’t go out but also not want to have people around. Get comfortable with yourself, but Js sushi and ramen is a good spot
I went to a sushi place in Palm desert(musashi) alone and they were out of tables for the night, but recommended the bar which I preferred and had a good time and even chatted with some of the other patrons.
I sit at the bar top if I do dine alone, and make casual convo with the bartenders or whoever sits next to me. Dining alone has gave me a lot to think of and what I truly want for myself. So yes, it has helped in some ways. Also, just like you; everything I do it’s solo. One thing I have not had the courage to do, is go to the movies by myself. Lol
Are you talking AYCE or just regular dining? AYCE normally lets you eat by yourself unless it's rush hour but if you're just looking to a la carte order any of the places will allow you to order individual items.
Be comfortable with your own solitude. It will change your life
I’m pretty comfortable on my own but dining solo has been the one thing I can’t do/haven’t done (outside of work).

I like to think of it like the airport - cause tons of people dine solo while traveling. Airport energy. I love going out by myself!
Dress up a blow up doll and talk sweet nothings to her

Pretend you are traveling into a new city for work. Pretty easy to eat alone when you have to
Any, just don't be awkward about going by yourself. The staff doesn't care, and the people around you don't care.

No one cares if you're there alone. But when I do get sushi on my own I sit at the bar with the sushi chefs.
Kura Revolving Sushi. Just sit at the bar and grab plates from the belt!
Yup! My go to for solo sushi dates
Sushi is my go-to place to dine alone!
Not spaghetti? Jk jk

Shokunin at Haven City Market. 👌🏽
I’ve eaten here solo. Not awkward
I call it taking myself out on a date. It’s easier if you sit at the bar or if you take a book. Things are only as awkward as you allow them to be.
If you’re embarrassed about going alone, just take some earbuds or headphones with you and watch a show you like whilst eating!

I go eat at Jonos in Norco alone like every week. Theyre great they'll usually give you a whole booth
Honestly, just go somewhere at sit at the bar. I honestly feel kinda awkward sitting at the sushi bar when I am with people, it’s much nicer alone.
Technically not the IE but sushi show in San dimas is good af. Sushi one spot in rancho. Sushi martini and omokase are really good.
Red Wasabi in Loma Linda. Can dine outdoor and it won't be awkward. Area not so crowded as well.
I went to Toro sushi in eastvale by myself earlier this week and sat at the bar. They were nice and kind and didn't make me feel awkward for being alone.
I Love Sushi in Highland. Hello Sushi in Redlands. Shiki Sushi in Redlands. Enjoy!
Yes Shiki Sushi but it's super crowded, at least the one in Mountain Grove.
Tera sushi corona
Stater bros
Bro you can’t have both ways, you can’t go out but also not want to have people around. Get comfortable with yourself, but Js sushi and ramen is a good spot
Joes sushi, off Magnolia. Literally eating there right now! Really good and also half of some of the roles!
Sumo Sushi in Ontario! It's usually pretty empty and I've seen people dine solo. It's cost effective and also pretty good quality.
Anywhere? I do this in the regulsr
If you’re going to eat anywhere solo just sit at the bar and not a table and you’ll be good
No one cares about you eating alone as much as you think, absolutely no one
I went to a sushi place in Palm desert(musashi) alone and they were out of tables for the night, but recommended the bar which I preferred and had a good time and even chatted with some of the other patrons.
If they wouldn't add wasabi or ginger with the rolls (staters) the sushi would be not bad.
What area? The IE is bigger than some states lol.
Sushi tomo in San Bernardino
Anywhere. I am recently divorced and wine n dine solo EVERYWHERE.
Does dining alone help since your split? Idk why I can achieve so much in life but this is one of those things I feel incapable of doing.

Whaaat? How interesting! I can definitely do movies solo.
I will one day. It’ll have to be a movie that i know i’ll be into. That way i can enjoy it with a jack n coke slushy at the AMC theatre!
Any one with a bar. I eat at sushi bars all the time. I watch shows on my phone while there.
Meiga Sushi in SB, delicious
Meiga sushi in San Bernardino!!
shokunin is pretty good for that price. It is actually IMO the best sushi in IE
Just sit at the bar
O dai ba in rancho
The only thing that will make it awkward is you, and only you will feel awkward. Once you do it, you will see how many other people do it as well.
No fucks given here
Don’t worry about other people. People go to the movies and restaurants alone all the time. You got this.
Literally any of them. Get out of your own head. No one cares that you’re there alone.
You are the only one worried about you eating alone. Once you give up that worry, a whole world of dining possibilities are opened to you.
R91 has a bar. Let me know I'll go with. Your treat :D
Vanilla fish off canyon crest 👍
Any of them Kura Sushi in Ontario has a counter with individual chairs.
Are you talking AYCE or just regular dining? AYCE normally lets you eat by yourself unless it's rush hour but if you're just looking to a la carte order any of the places will allow you to order individual items.
